Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 839 AM EDT Wed Oct 22 2014 Valid 00Z Thu Oct 23 2014 - 00Z Thu Oct 30 2014 ...Tropical Storm Ana slowly moving away... Wind, waves, and rainfall associated with Ana continue to diminish as the cyclone tracks northwestward away from the state through the end of the week. For additional and updated information/forecasts on 'Ana', please refer to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center and your local National Weather Service office. In the wake of Ana, weak high pressure north of the islands will modulate slightly in intensity and position, but otherwise provide for weak to moderate trades through the weekend and into the middle of next week, along with scattered mainly windward showers. large-scale wise, current model guidance shows strong flow continuing across the north central pacific that leads to growing spread and uncertainty with a prevailing large-scale trough continuing over the eastern Pacific that has modest influences from Ana and a synoptic system crossing the southwest Pacific. Impacts could be differing strengths of the low level winds across Hawaii perhaps by this weekend if the systems interact differently from the model consensus that has average if not slightly below average confidence associated with it at this time.
